When the Divine War Space opens, it generates a pocket dimension based on the terrain the two combatants have agreed upon.
This space then connects the Divine Realms of both Zhang Yi and Li Boyang.
Zhang Yi and Li Boyang each had one hour to assemble their troops and make final preparations.
After that hour, the 200 Clan members they each selected would appear on the battlefield within the Divine War Space.
As they had agreed, the Divine War would last for a total of ten hours.
After ten hours, the side with the most casualties among their Clan members would be declared the loser.
However, if the Divine War ended before the ten-hour mark,
the victor's Clan could use the remaining time to cross through the pocket dimension and invade the loser's Divine Realm.
For any Lord of the Divine Realm, that would be a devastating blow!
Both Li Boyang and Zhang Yi knew this well.
If they lost this Divine War,
they would not only lose face at school—a topic of gossip for the next two years—
but they would also lose the agreed-upon stakes and the precious resources within their own Divine Realm!
For Zhang Yi, the Four-star Divine Domain Enhancement Card was incredibly valuable at his current stage.
But losing it wouldn't be a crippling blow.
His opponent, Li Boyang, on the other hand, had wagered a Four-star Divine Domain Card, [Bloodline Evolution Pool], and a Two-star Skill Card, [Precise Javelin]—his entire fortune!
Both had wagered everything, all for the sake of victory in this Divine War!
Now that things had come to this,
no matter how much Zhang Yi might look down on his opponent, he had to take him seriously from a tactical standpoint.
Zhang Yi used the one-hour preparation window to spend 2,000 Faith Value and issue an Oracle.
"My beloved Clan, a new challenge is upon us!"
"Vile Heretics, a Clan that worships another divine spirit, has reached the borders of our world!"
"They are about to invade our home!"
"To defend our home, I need 200 brave Clan members to fight the enemy Clan in the name of the great Elf God!"
"While you battle these Heretics, I shall hold their god at bay, preventing them from interfering with you!"
This time, Zhang Yi once again broadcast the Oracle's message directly into the minds of every single one of his Clan members.
Upon receiving the Oracle from their great Elf God, the Wood Elves and the few Natural Elves
were overcome with fervent passion, falling to their knees to volunteer and swear their allegiance!
Torrents of the Power of Faith began surging toward Zhang Yi from every corner of the Divine Realm.
Zhang Yi gathered this influx of the Power of Faith.
"Great Elf God, we are willing to fight for you!" the Wood Elves and Natural Elves cried out in unison.
Feiyana, the Legion Commander in charge of military training, was the first to step forward. "Allow me to lead the elite Wood Elf Warriors into battle!"
Elf Queen An Nobel and High Priest Shamiel also volunteered for the mission.
The remaining two hundred-odd Wood Elf Clan members all petitioned to join the fight,
and among the four Elf squads trained by Feiyana, not a single Elf, be they Wood Elf or Natural Elf, failed to volunteer.
Each one was loyal and hoped to join the campaign against the Heretics, to enter a battlefield where they could serve their great Elf God!
Seeing this, Zhang Yi nodded.
'As expected of the Clan I've so carefully nurtured. Their loyalty is truly high!'
Initially, Elf Queen An Nobel had also wanted to enter the Divine War Space to serve the great Elf God,
but after being persuaded by High Priest Shamiel and Legion Commander Feiyana,
the Elf Queen was convinced to stay behind.
In the end, after the three of them discussed it,
it was decided that Elf Queen An Nobel would remain in the Divine Realm to manage the dozens of Wood Elves who were not going to war.
The chosen Wood Elves and Natural Elves would be led by Legion Commander Feiyana into the Divine War Space.
High Priest Shamiel,
as the only one in the entire Divine Realm
who had mastered both Divine Art and Magic, would also accompany the Elf Corps led by Feiyana into the Divine War Space to serve the great Elf God!
Half an hour later, the Wood Elves chosen for the Divine War were lined up neatly, standing before the tribal sacrificial altar.
At that moment, Zhang Yi issued another Oracle:
"My brave Clan members, if you win this Divine War, I will grant you the same opportunity for Bloodline Advancement as before!"
"Furthermore, this time, it is an opportunity that every Wood Elf and Natural Elf in the Divine Realm can enjoy!"
"The greater your contribution, the sooner you will receive it!"
When all the Wood Elves and Natural Elves in the Divine Realm heard this new Oracle,
and learned of their great Elf God's promise,
that after a victory in this Divine War, every single Wood Elf and Natural Elf in the Divine Realm would receive a chance for Bloodline Advancement,
they were ecstatic.
The already loyal Elf Clan became even more devoted!
This triggered another massive influx of Faith Value!
[Event]: It has been detected that the faith of all Clan members in your Divine Realm has reached the level of True Believers or higher. Congratulations on unlocking the achievement "Fanatical Faith"!
[Achievement: Fanatical Faith]
[Effect: Henceforth, the moment any Clan you conquer declares surrender, their loyalty will automatically reach a baseline level, and their degree of faith conversion will increase by +1!]
Zhang Yi hadn't expected that by merely promising a chance for Bloodline Advancement after victory,
he would drive every Elf Clan member in his Divine Realm into such a frenzy!
He had even unlocked a corresponding achievement!
What Zhang Yi didn't know, however, was that
after the last battle, the 100 Wood Elves who had used the Bloodline Advancement Card,
had returned to the Divine Realm.
Whether it was those who had advanced from Wood Elf to Natural Elf, evolving from a Middle Clan to a higher-tier clan and unlocking their bloodline's legacy,
or those who hadn't advanced but whose Four-dimensional Attributes had still increased significantly—
the changes their bodies had undergone had filled the other hundred-plus Wood Elves with a deep, heartfelt envy.
This was especially true for the Wood Elves who had participated in the last battle but weren't chosen to receive a Bloodline Advancement Card.
The missed opportunity had left a profound impression on their hearts.
What Wood Elf didn't wish to become stronger and contribute more to their great Elf God?
Therefore, when they learned their great Elf God had promised every Wood Elf and Natural Elf a chance to experience Bloodline Advancement after this victory,
each and every one of them went completely wild!
They were utterly swept up in a tidal wave of faith,
and this fanatical atmosphere spread, amplifying among every Wood Elf and Natural Elf around them.
Naturally, the faith of all the Wood Elves and Natural Elves began to skyrocket.
Wood Elves who were once General Believers now became True Believers.
Wood Elves who were once True Believers now became Devout Believers!
And that is how the faith of every Clan member in Zhang Yi's Divine Realm increased so dramatically,
allowing him to achieve the milestone of having every member's faith at the level of True Believers or higher.
To the teachers and students watching the live broadcast in the multimedia hall,
this scene appeared differently.
It looked as if Zhang Yi had a solid grasp of the theology he'd learned at school and was applying it with masterful precision.
Every single Clan member in his Divine Realm was utterly loyal to their Lord of the Divine Realm!
